Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas for 2009

Every year, around this time, we start to think about the other people in our family. That includes not only the relatives we see every day, but even those who may travel great distances, whether it is to see family members we don’t usually see often, or what have you. And then there are inevitably those who only send us a Christmas card once a year and an update about what they’ve been doing.

However you celebrate this holiday season, please play it safe, and think of others. If you are in a position where you can help others this holiday season, please do so: whether they’re family or not.

The Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July, 2009. Every year we celebrate the 4th of July with friends and family. This usually includes traveling to see our relatives, cooking out on the barbeque, and enjoying fireworks. I usually try to capture the fireworks we see every year with a camera. If I get something worthing seeing I’ll try to post on the blog.

However you celebrate our nation’s Independence, please keep it safe. And if you feel that you need to include alcohol in your celebration, please don’t drink and drive.

Remembering Our Fallen Heroes on D-Day

Today is the 65th anniversary of the Allies’ D-Day landings on the Northern Coast of France. President Barack Obama paid tribute to the D-Day invasion and the heroes that participated in that part of our history. If you might recall, this was the historic event that turned the tide of World War II and cemented the trans-Atlantic alliance.

“This day marks not only the triumph of freedom, but it also marks how the trans-Atlantic alliance has allowed for extraordinary prosperity and security on both sides of the Atlantic,” Obama said at a news conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in nearby Caen.

“The fact that France fully reintegrated into to NATO this year under President Sarkozy’s leadership is just one further indication of the degree to which U.S.-French cooperation can help to underpin not only security in Europe but also a more secure and prosperous world beyond Europe,” Obama said before heading to the D-Day commemoration.

Please join me in remembering the heroes–and thanking them–for their service to our great country.

Who is Sam Cammack?

I’m a Criminal Defense lawyer and the Managing Attorney for Bailey & Galyen. I joined the law firm of Bailey & Galyen in 2004 and I currently practice Criminal Defense Law. I am located at the Houston Clear Lake office in the Criminal Law Department.

I got my Juris Doctorate and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Thurgood Marshall School of Law. I actually received the Prima Excellencia Award for finishing at the top of my class in eleven different areas of the law. While in school, I won the Helen Dawn Williams Mock Trial Competition and qualified for Nationals.

I admitted to the Texas Bar in 2002 and then began my legal career as a prosecutor in Harrison County, Texas. As a prosecutor there, I handled cases ranging from Misdemeanor DWI to Felony Aggravated Sexual Assault. I also handled mental hearings, revocations, and bond forfeiture proceedings.

As a prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer, I have been successful in 82 of 86 actual jury trials and I’ve handled over 8000 cases. You’ve probably heard of me before because I am a regular panelist on the CNN’s Headline News “Nancy Grace” show.

I was also hired by the State of Oregon Public Defense Bar to represent one of its residents accused of committing a crime in Texas. I have also represented and counseled many high profile felony cases.
